Part of the BBC Proms. Celebrating its 20th annivesrary this year, the Russian National Orchestra returns to the Proms with its founder, Mikhail Pletnev, folowing a 14-year absence. After the drama of Beethoven's powerful overture to the play Coriolan (whose titular Roman general had inspired Shakespeare 200 years earlier), Nikolai Lugansky, one of today's renowned Rachmaninov players, takes the solo role in the variations of the 'Paganini' Rhapsody – the first of a sequence of great pianists appearing at the Proms over the coming week. Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 - a form which the composer found more liberating than the conventions of the symphony - ends with another set of flamboyant variations. Finish time: approx. 21:25
